76. 2Odds ratios were
not reported by the authors in the study. For the purposes of this discussion,
odds ratios and exact confidence limits were computed using EpiInfo. For
computational purposes, one count was added to each cell for arterial hypertension
and nephropathy because there were no nonexposed cases in either of these
groups.

91. The baseline SGA rate in unexposed
mothers who had no history of fetal death but had previously had a pregnancy
was 7.8%, which was much closer to the rates of 8.5 for unexposed mothers
with one previous fetal death and 6.7 for unexposed mothers with two or
more previous fetal deaths.
